It will be relatively simple.

bringing in power, remote on, and throwing the speaker cables into the trunk so that we can by pass the factory amp.

Thanks,

what speakers are you dragging wires back for? are you amping just the rear speakers, or is this for a sub? if its for speakers, why arent you amping all of them instead of just the back?

FYI, running wires is the hardest part to do it right, because you wanna run them along the center or underthe door sills and have to take a bunch of stuff if you wanna do it right. that said, its still easy to do.

Ahhh, yes... GM bypass module and all. It can be a major pain int he ass as the stereo can be ties into onstar, nav systems, alarms, door locks and other shit.

I'd have a pro shop do it - audio concepts or someone similar who will back up their work.

bump got all the work done...

retrofitted my stock system to allow for the deck to go in.

need someone who can install the wires, and run power to my deck along with power/remote/subout to trunk.

any advice? or suggestions?

taking out pretty much the whole interior of the car helps when running wires

yeah, just rip a bunch of your interior panels out and find a place you can run them... usually under the door sills is the best.
